OCALA - A former Marion County Public Schools bus aide accused of molesting two special-needs students has been brought back to Marion County from a North Carolina jail.
Terry Glenn Mauldin, 48, of Citra, is now in the Marion County Jail.
Mauldin is accused of sexual battery on a 13-year-old boy in a gas station restroom and on a 15-year-old boy, in two separate incidents, during bus rides between the boys' homes and schools, according to the Marion County Sheriff's Office.
Mauldin, who had fled to North Carolina during an investigation into the alleged assaults, was extradited from the Mecklenburg County Jail on Friday. He is being held without bail here on three counts of sexual battery.
The assault on the 13-year-old allegedly occurred in 2004, according to the Sheriff's Office. The other case involves alleged incidents from late last year and earlier this year.
After Mauldin disappeared, Sheriff's Office investigators tracked him to North Carolina and obtained warrants for his arrest.
Mecklenburg police arrested him at a home there on March 10. While the Marion County Sheriff's Office was attempting to extradite Mauldin, a North Carolina judge set bail at $20,000, and he was released the next day. The Marion County Sheriff's Office was able to obtain a warrant, and Mauldin was again arrested in North Carolina.
"We're glad to get him back here where he can stand trial and justice can be served," sheriff's Maj. Chris Blair said.
Mauldin declined a request from the Star-Banner for an interview.Millard K. Ives may be reached at millard.ives@starbanner.com or (352) 387-2488.
